A friend, Leana, connected me with Briana from Unemployed Brooklyn, a witty and well-written diary about being unemployed and single in Greenpoint. Just featured on NY1, Briana does a fantastic job listing resources, and is working to get together a group for unemployed folks in the Greenpoint/Williamsburg area. As Briana wrote in her email, the group will be "networking meets support group meets brainstorming." Sounds good to me!

Check out Briana's site, as well as her Etsy shop, which features cute little stuffed animals such as this:

FYI- Briana has a strong retail management background (among other things). Make sure to let her know through the email listed on her blog if you know of open positions in her field!

Wanna buy Melifera a much-needed drink?
